一名佩戴电子脚踝监控器的累犯暴力嫌疑人持刀行凶，引发人们对韩国监管系统是否能够充分监督被认定为高风险人员、并在袭击发生前予以防范的质疑。
A stabbing rampage by a repeat violent offender wearing an electronic ankle monitor has raised questions about whether South Korea’s system can adequately supervise those deemed high-risk and prevent attacks before they happen.
警方周三表示，这名59岁嫌疑人告诉调查人员，他因认为自己在医院受到不公平待遇而感到沮丧。
The 59-year-old suspect told investigators he had become frustrated over what he perceived as mistreatment at a hospital, police said on Wednesday.
三名刑事画像专家正在协助调查人员确定周二在仁川一家购物中心发生的袭击动机，该事件导致10人受伤，其中包括一名仍处于昏迷状态的20多岁女性。
Three criminal profilers were helping investigators establish the motive for Tuesday’s attack at a shopping centre in Incheon, which left 10 people injured, including a woman in her 20s who remained in a coma.
嫌疑人在仁川南东警察署接受讯问时被引述称：“我没有针对特定人物，我选择了看起来比我更弱的人，但我没有杀人的意图。”
“I did not target any specific person, and I chose people who looked weaker than me, but I had no intention to kill,” the suspect was quoted as saying during questioning at Namdong Police Station in Incheon.
他在使用自动扶梯在楼层之间移动时，双手绑着刀，随后购物者通过向他投掷椅子将其制服。
He wielded knives tied to both hands as he moved between floors via an escalator before shoppers managed to subdue him by throwing chairs at him.
“他在看到的每个人身上挥舞刀子。人们惊慌逃窜。大多数人被刺伤在背部，”一名在购物中心一楼工作的员工说。
“He swung the knives at everyone he saw. People fled in panic. Most people were stabbed in their backs,” said an employee who was working on the shopping centre’s first floor.
另一名目击者表示：“他追击遇到的每一个人。他一直挥舞刀子，一句话也不说。”警方表示，嫌疑人背包内携带看似处方精神科药物，但初步毒品筛查结果为阴性。
Another witness said: “He went after anyone he encountered. He just kept swinging his knives without saying a word.”Police said the suspect was carrying what appeared to be prescription psychiatric medication in his backpack but tested negative in a preliminary drug screening.
警方称，他曾在当地医院接受脚气治疗，但对症状未见改善感到不满。
According to police, he had been receiving treatment for athlete’s foot at a local hospital but was dissatisfied that his symptoms had not improved.
八月份，他开始在医院外手持刀具进行一人抗议，促使医院向警方报案。他随后于上个月被起诉。
In August, he began staging a one-man protest outside the hospital while holding a knife, prompting the facility to report him to police. He was subsequently indicted last month.
嫌疑人被引述对调查人员说：“医院报警后我被警察调查，我很不高兴。”
“I was unhappy because I was investigated by police after the hospital reported me,” he was quoted as telling investigators.
李在明总统访问了仁川广域警察厅，并呼吁采取有效措施防止类似事件再次发生。
President Lee Jae Myung visited the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency and called for effective measures to prevent similar incidents from recurring.
司法部在嫌疑人被确认为佩戴电子脚环的累犯暴力罪犯后，表示歉意，并承诺进行彻底调查并审查全国电子监控系统。
The justice ministry apologised and pledged a thorough investigation and a review of the country’s electronic monitoring system after the suspect was identified as a repeat violent offender wearing an electronic anklet.
司法部在一份声明中表示：“我们将对电子监控框架以及罪犯的监督与指导系统进行全面审查，并及时制定措施以弥补任何漏洞。”
“We will conduct a comprehensive review of the electronic monitoring framework and the system for supervising and guiding offenders, and promptly prepare measures to address any gaps,” the ministry said in a statement.
“我们将动用全部能力防止类似事件再次发生，将公众的生命和安全置于首要位置。”东亚大学灾害与应急管理系教授李东圭表示，此次袭击暴露了对危险罪犯监控和管理方面的严重不足。
“We will focus all our capabilities on preventing similar incidents from recurring, placing the lives and safety of the public as our top priority.”Lee Dong-gyu, a professor in the department of disaster and emergency management at Dong-A University, said the attack had exposed serious shortcomings in the surveillance and management of dangerous offenders.
“此次事件暴露了对高危罪犯监控和控制方面的严重漏洞，”他说。该系统的核心是法院命令要求某些高危罪犯佩戴的电子脚环。
“This incident has laid bare the serious gaps in monitoring and controlling high-risk offenders,” he said. At the centre of the system is an electronic ankle tag that certain high-risk offenders are required to wear under court orders.
该设备通过蜂窝网络持续向监控中心传输位置数据，使当局能够全天候追踪罪犯的行踪。
The device continuously transmits location data through cellular networks to monitoring centres, allowing authorities to track an offender’s movements around the clock.
若佩戴者进入禁区或离开指定区域，系统将向司法部的监控当局发出警报。
If the wearer enters a restricted area or leaves a designated zone, the system alerts monitoring authorities at the justice ministry.
然而，李东圭表示，司法部缺乏足够人员来监控罪犯的行动，并在必要时与一线警方协调干预。
However, Lee Dong-gyu said the ministry lacked sufficient personnel to monitor offenders’ movements and coordinate with police officers on the ground to intervene when necessary.
他还建议政府升级电子监控设备，使其能够检测生理信号的变化，例如可能与饮酒相关的心率升高，并向当局发出潜在风险的警报。该系统的局限性在之前的案件中已被凸显。
He also suggested that the government upgrade the electronic monitoring devices so they could detect changes in physiological signals, such as an elevated heart rate potentially associated with alcohol consumption, and alert authorities to possible risks. The system’s limitations have been highlighted in previous cases.
2025年，警方在六天内未发现已被定罪的性犯罪者赵斗顺篡改了其住所安装的电子监控设备。
In 2025, police remained unaware for six days that a convicted sex offender, Cho Doo-soon, had tampered with electronic monitoring equipment installed at his residence.
尽管在2020年获释后一直受到密切监管，赵斗顺仍多次违反不得离开住所的限制。
Cho repeatedly violated restrictions on leaving his home despite being under close supervision after his release in 2020.
他因强奸一名八岁女童并造成需要长期医疗处理的伤害，被判处12年有期徒刑。
He had served a 12-year prison sentence for raping an eight-year-old girl and inflicting injuries that required prolonged medical treatment.
“政府本应从赵斗顺案中吸取教训，加大人力和设备投入，以防止类似事件再次发生，”李东奎表示。
“The government should have learned from the Cho Doo-soon case and bolstered its manpower and equipment to prevent similar incidents,” Lee Dong-gyu said.
司法部统计数据显示，佩戴电子脚环人员的重复性犯罪仍在持续发生，平均每月约两起。
Justice ministry statistics show that repeat sexual offences by people wearing electronic monitoring anklets continue to occur, averaging about two cases a month.
司法部周三向执政党共同民主党议员朴济元提交的数据显示，2022年1月至2026年8月期间，接受电子监控的人员共实施106起重复性犯罪，平均每月1.9起。
According to data the ministry submitted on Wednesday to Park Jie-won, a lawmaker from the ruling Democratic Party of Korea, 106 repeat sexual offences were committed by individuals under electronic monitoring between January 2022 and August 2026, an average of 1.9 cases a month.
同期，电子监控下还发生了两起重复性杀人案和两起重复性抢劫案。
During the same period, there were two repeat murder offences and two repeat robbery offences under electronic monitoring, the data showed.
法院施加的限制被违反的情况也有所增加。离开住所的限制被违反的次数从2024年的759次增加到2025年的956次，增幅达26%。
Violations of court-imposed restrictions have also increased. The number of breaches of restrictions on leaving home rose by 26 per cent, from 759 in 2024 to 956 in 2025.
在2022年1月至2026年8月期间，当局共记录4552起违反离开居住者住所限制的行为，相当于每天约两到三起。
Between January 2022 and August 2026, authorities recorded 4,552 violations of restrictions on leaving offenders’ residences, equivalent to roughly two to three incidents a day.
同期还发生了41起违反禁止接触受害者令的事件和31起篡改电子监控设备的案件。
The same period also saw 41 violations of no-contact orders protecting victims and 31 cases of tampering with electronic monitoring devices.
分析人士认为，这一趋势部分原因在于尽管接受电子监控的人数增加，但实地监督人员却在减少。
Analysts attribute the trend in part to a decline in field supervision personnel despite an increase in the number of offenders subject to electronic monitoring.
接受电子监控的人数从2022年的4316人增加到今年8月的5301人，增幅达23%。
The number of people under electronic monitoring rose by 23 per cent, from 4,316 in 2022 to 5,301 in August this year.
与之形成对比的是，直接负责在现场监督和管理这些人员的工作人员数量下降了21%，从255人降至234人。
By contrast, the number of staff directly responsible for supervising and managing these individuals in the field fell by 21 per cent, from 255 to 234.
因此，每名监管人员的平均案件数从17.1名再犯罪者增加至20.3名。
As a result, the average caseload per supervisor increased from 17.1 offenders to 20.3.
韩南大学警察科学教授李道顺表示，政府需要紧急增加人员编制，以加强防止再犯罪的工作。
Lee Do-sun, a professor of police science at Hannam University, said the government needed to urgently increase staffing for efforts to prevent repeat offending.
他说：“负责监控危险再犯罪者的部门人手不足，而应迅速将罪犯控制住的一线警察也存在人手不足的问题。”
“There are manpower shortages both at the ministry tasked with monitoring dangerous repeat offenders and among police officers on the ground who should act quickly to bring offenders under control,” he said.
他呼吁建立一个一体化系统，通过该系统政府部门和警察可以共享高危再犯罪者的实时信息，并将英国视为潜在的典范。
He called for an integrated system through which government agencies and police could share real-time information about high-risk offenders, citing the United Kingdom as a potential model.
他说：“电子脚镯只能显示佩戴者的位置，但通过这些设备，你永远不知道他们有多危险或其暴力倾向有多大。”
“Electronic tags only reveal where the wearers are, but through these devices, you never know how dangerous they are or what their propensity for violence is,” he said.
李道顺还表示，韩国也需要更多能够评估再犯罪风险的专家，包括酒精依赖、冲动控制受损、强迫行为以及其他心理问题等因素。他说：“在目前的人力配置下，这些任务几乎不可能完成。”
South Korea also needed more specialists capable of assessing the risk of reoffending, including factors such as alcohol dependence, impaired impulse control, obsessive behaviour and other psychological problems, he said. “With the current manpower, these tasks are almost impossible to carry out,” he said.
